A teenager who says he was ordered to sexually attack a naked girl tied to a torture board has led police to the lime caked graves of eight other youths where poo lice today continued digging operations, Meanwhile, police in suburban Pasadena began digging up the lawn of a dead man they were told was responsible for the killings. “In 22 years of police work I’ve never seen anyone capable of doing such a thing,” said homicide Lt. Breck Porter. Police supervised jail trusties in uncovering the stench filled boat stall of a large L-shaped building in an industrial district. The 12 by 30-foot stall yielded eight skeletons and decomposed bodies during the night. 

A man living near the building said, “the smell was the so bad last night I had to take kids and leave,” The bizarre case broke Wednesday afternoon when, Pasadena police said, Elmer Wayne Henley, 17, telephoned them and said he had shot to death Dean Allen Corll, 33, earlier in the day. Police found Corll’s body at his home from where they said Henley led them to the boat stalls in Southwest Houston. Police said Henley told them he had killed Corll in self-defense following an all-night sex party at Corll’s Pasadena home. Police said Henley gave them this account: Henley had brought another youth and a 15-year-old girl to the party which police said was primarily a homosexual gathering. Henley, the third and the other youth sniffed acrylics from a bag and passed out. 

“He (Corll) woke us up and was tying us up and handcuffing us. He said he going to kill us all but first he was going to have fun,” Henley said. He said Corll threatened him with a knife and a gun. I sweat talked him and promised I’d torture and kill them (the girl and other boy) for him if he’d let me go, 80 be did,” Henley said, He said the girl and the other youth were stripped naked and ted spread eagle on five foot boards, their hands bound, and their mouths covered with tape. Henley said Corll wanted him sexually to attack the girl while Corll performed homosexual acts on the other youth. Henley said Corll had laid aside the .82 caliber pistol, and Henley shot Corll when Corll menaced him again. Corll, an employe of the Houston Lighting & Power Co., was described by friends and coworkers as “the nicest, most courteous guy you’ll ever meet. He had an infectious smile,” «We feel Corll was a homosexual. 

There was a girl at the party but not at Corll’s request, he didn’t get his erotic fantasies overnight,’ said police Lt. Sidney Smith. Pasadena police gouged up the lawn at Corll’s home where they said they found several “mounds” that produced nothing. “I don’t feel they’ll find any more bodies there,” Smith said. Henley telephoned his mother shortly after he was placed in police custody Wednesday evening. “This is momma, baby,’ she said, “Momma, killed Dean,” Henley said, Oh God,” his mother said. Police said Henley had mentioned the names of several Houston area youths who had been reported missing by their families over the past three years. 

Officers said the names were verified. as. those. of. missing persons and grave digging operations began at the boat stall where Henley led them. «We didn’t have any idea It would turn out to be this bad when started out,” police Lt. David Mulligan said. “It would take a perverted, sadistic type of a clown to pull something like this,” Porter said, Police said the skeletons and badly decomposed bodies were wrapped in plastic bags, some of them apparently buried in the boat stall since 1970 when Corll first rented it. A friend and coworker of Corll said, however, Corll did not own a boat “but I think his parents did.”
